Undercard highlights

A swathe of Liverpool talent features on the bill. Birkenshaw lightweight Sean Dodd meets Pasquale Di Silivo in a fight which earns the victor a ranking with the WBC.

Fresh off his unsuccessful super-featherweight world title challenge, Stephen Smith takes on Daniel Brizuela over 10. His brothers Callum and Paul also feature in keep-busy contests.

British light-heavyweight champion Hosea Burton was scheduled to defend his title against Tony Dodson, but the challenger picked up a nasty injury and so Burton will instead take part in a non-title six-rounder.

Former British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion David Price makes a highly anticipated return to the ring after losing to drug cheat Erkan Teper last year. He fights Vaclav Pejsar over eight in a bid to get his career back on track.
